A 2-year study was conducted to determine the relationships between plant canopy photosynthesis, canopy light interception, and plant productivity of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) exhibiting differing leaf morphologies. The near-isogenic lines were from a single background (MD 65-11) and represented the leaf shapes Normal (small leaf lobing), Sub-Okra (intermediate leaf lobing), Okra (large le...

tration thresholds for rifampicin, isoniazid or pyrazinamide. We think that our study together with recent studies, not the least from Professor Gumbo and coworkers, calls for standard, routine therapeutic drug monitoring for all TB patients in Denmark; when embarking on a 6 month treatment of a deadly disease, it should be imperative—if the means and methods are available—to monitor whether th...

Leaf shapes of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) range from highly divided leaves (okra leaf) to normal leaf shape (Meredith, 1 ). The variation in leaf shape results in differences in canopy architecture and light interception characteristics (Wells and Meredith, 1 ). Heitholt et al. (1 ) described higher yields of okra leaf isolines for a given amount of intercepted radiation, indicating that the o...

Ecosystem services are defined as those functions of ecosystems that support (directly or indirectly) human welfare. They occur at multiple scales, from climate regulation and carbon sequestration at the global scale, to flood protection, soil formation and nutrient cycling at local and regional scales (Kremen 2005; Table 1). The MIMES project aims to integrate participatory model building, dat...

Objectives: This work aimed to evaluate the acute and chronic toxicity of ethanolic extract Abelmoschus esculentus, administered orally Swiss albino mice. Methods: An dosage 2000 mg/kg was administrated studies were conducted following organization for economic cooperation development guidelines 425 407 respectively in During study, general signs monitored. The mice which are used toxicology st...

In the present study various extracts of Cyperus esculentus L. such as acetone, 50% ethanol, chloroform and petroleum ether were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against several human pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Citrobacter freundii, by using disc diffusion method. The act...
